ROAST DUCK BISCUITS


SUE

ARP

BOW

1 duck
2 pounds flour
½ cup lard
1 tablespoonful salt
4 tablespoonfuls baking powder

(a) Roast the duck, take out the bones, and cut the meat into small pieces.

(b) Sift the flour and put into a suitable bowl. Mix the flour with enough cold water to make a thin dough.

(c) Roll the dough out flat and cut into the size of biscuits.

(d) Now roll the biscuits flat and fill them with the duck meat, wrapping the dough around the meat into a perfect ball. Close it up carefully. The amount of duck should be one-half the amount of dough.

(e) Place in a double-boiler for 10 minutes before putting over the fire. Steam for ¾ of an hour.
